High School is alot different than NOT being in High School. Trust me, I wouldn't call it the greatest time of my life, but when your trapped inside a building with around 1,000 females(well, at my school anyway) 8 hours a day, 5 days a week nearly all year. Then your going to have more oppurtunities than you think.

I was pretty popular in High School I guess, I was a jock more or less but I've never got any girls just due to my jock status. You want to know what got me more girls than anything?

My mouth

I never stoppped talking to girls. NEVER, I was hitting on them, flirting with them, getting numbers even when I had no ****ing clue what to say or how to pleasure them. I just never stopped, I challenged myself to become like the people I admired, because I thought that they were happy. I learnt by example, I have a friend named Austin who was probably one of the most successful High School DJ's I've ever had the pleasure to watch spit game. He slept with around 20-30 girls from the same High School. He wasn't tall, dark and handsome. He was a short guy, that got laid ALL THE TIME. I had other friends who were successful, but not as much as he was in high school. Thats when I learnt that how you carry yourself, talk and your actions speak alot more than I ever thought.

My Junior year is when I really errupted. One thing that I noticed completely about my attitude was that I just stopped caring. Like in earlier years, I would be to timid and shy to just say whatever whenever I wanted. This isn't a battlecry to conform to non-conformity, or go shop at Hot Topic. But the fear left me, completely and I didn't even realize it.

When I stopped caring what other people thought about me, is when my sex life started

In High School some of us get caught up, but I can honestly say in all of my stupidity that I had(and still have) one thing that I've always been able to do is see people for who they are. Some guys on the HS board are professing their love or want their girl back, but they don't see what relationships in High School are:

Lessons and practice for meaningful relationships further in life

I'd say there is a 99% chance that that hot girl sitting in front of you in Spanish class isn't going to end up with you the rest of your life. So stop acting like it, when you act desperate. It reeks, trust me. That is the number 1 turn off among women, whether they say it or not. No-one wants a emotional, poetry writing love sick puppy dog calling them 10 times a day. Well, some might, but most dont.

I'm probably more succesful than most people on this board ever will be, But dont think that is some bragging bull**** to puff up my already inflated ego. I'd say I got shot down more than 50% of the time, That means asking for number, hitting on them, trying to pick them up, cold approaches. But thats a WHOLE lot of girls. But I've learnt to take it in stride, I don't get down on myself. I've made it a habit, I dont an emotional attachment by seeing a hot girl. I just see it for what it is at the time: A Hot Girl.

So lesson in High School? See girls for what and who they are, your probably not going to marry someone from HS. So dont be looking for a bride, keep that mouth running and stop caring what they think. I think the quote that summarizes my entire philopshy and made me rethink my strategy would be one night my Junior year when we were at the mall, I saw this incredibly hot girl and was enveloped with fear. I was terrified of rejection from some girl I didn't even know and would never see again, I started making up excuses to my friend(Channing) as to why I couldn't approach her and he said this to me.

"Since when did you start giving a **** what a woman thinks?"

You could take it as a woman/hater type statement but if you knew him, it's purpose was purely motivational. It was a slap in the face, I needed someone to dump a cold bucket of water on me and that was it. I was never the same after that.

Dont get caught up with emotional attachments, and just have fun in High School. Dont worry about serious relationships, those things come with time, and trust me. You wanna wait for that!

good for you man.

I wish my high school experience had been better. I tried doing the same thing you talked about. Talking, flirting, trying not to give a fyck. But I could never compete with the guys who naturally did all of those. Deep down, I was always insecure, unconfident, and worrying about their reactions. Even when I got myself together, and genuinely chose not to give a fyck, I could sense I was being looked down upon, still.

You know what I am talking about...
A gir/guy you chat up with is ready to just end the convo as soon as possible, cause they do not want to be seen with you.

Or when you see someone in the hallway, and do not even bother to acknowledge you.

Or those guys who give you shyt, and you are not quick enough to say anything back, and when you do, they still manage to end up cracking up the whole class/ locker room about you with their disgusting language.

How could I forgive all of this from my peers??
Why would I want to associate with them??

At high school, I got rejected nearly 20 times, multiply that amount many fold for those who probably pre-rejected me the minute they saw me. The only benefit I have recieved from this, was an indifference to the girls rejecting me now. Its still frustrates me, but it does not seem to hit hard anymore like it used to. To me, it is like another small piece of shyt thrown my way, no big deal.


But here I am now, graduating with a class I truly cannot say I had good memories with. I did not participate in all the fun parties my peers went to. I was not tied up in HS drama, with girls trying to date me. You never saw me laughing or acting up with " the guys" I was just a normal mediocre guy.

My biggest mistake, was never involving myself into anything school related. No sports, no clubs, nothing.

That is the biggest mistake you could ever make.

Anyone who reads this, if you want to have a cool HS experience, keep those grades up, but also INVOLVE yourself into sports and clubs. That way you will develop a network of friends, as well as find a passion (football, lacrosse, art, acting) that you can excell at.

I was always afraid of my peers, but then I just stoped caring about it. It wasn't something that I tried to do, it just happened. I don't really know how to explain it, maybe its just the transition into being a upperclassmen.

I was in no clubs, but I did play a sport. The first few times I hit on girls I failed, miserably but I just kept going and going. I look back on those things and cringe at how lame I was. But you have to start somewhere and nobody loses all the time.

People limit it to just girls, but I just became friendly with everyone instead of secluding myself. It helped me out a whole bunch. I mean, the more people and girls you expose yourself too positively the better right?
 

Tell her a little about yourself, but not too much. Maintain some mystery. Give her something to think about and wonder about when she's at home.

popularity is not always good: in my ex school, i had been elected as the most popular guy when i was a freshman and when i was a sophomore. on my junior year, i was surely one of the most populars, but the ones that did the survey elected themselves (nobody actually knew her)... everybody knew me and that was surely a boost for my ego. anyway, my confidence was low, so when someone got to know me better, he would start to pick on me... i was not a nerd, but lots of people hated me for my popularity


now i'm in a new school and i'm faaaaaar less popular (although, unexpectedly, somebody already knew me when i joined the school, since friends of his had talked them about me:))... guess what, i notice lots and lots of girls staring at me and i have been approached a dozen times in less than a school year...


you don't need to be popular, you need to be somehow different, so you can be noticed... when you are popular, people already know you and you don't get noticed so you have to do all the work... when you are different, but not popular, people are interested in knowing you, so they approach you and that's even a bigger ego boost:D

most of the kids at my school were from the same middle school i went to. I went to high school with no social connections, cause I was fycked with by those same kids in middle school. From there, every attempt to make new friends was just a constant uphill battle which I always lost at. I alienated even more people, just cause my confidence and self-esteem was so low from letting people walk all over me.

So it was mostly my fault for not being strong...but my peers certainly did not help either
